It's not hard to find a patio in this city but it is hard to find a nice comfortable one with good light, good shade and bloody good food. I was here for brunch on a sunny Sunday to celebrate my brother in laws birth and the best pickled eggs I've ever had, even stole my sister's last one. Yes Maple Leaf Tavern does sound like a traditional pub, pickled eggs and all, but it is mostly anything but. I say mostly, because the one thing about a good pub that you can't do without is the comfort factor. That comfort factor though doesn't only come from a comfortable place to put your butt, it also comes from the service which was warm and welcoming, the menu which was simple, elegant (and very good) and the ambiance which as I'm sure you can guess kind of closes the deal.
So if you're looking for greasy pub food this is probably not for you but maybe you should give it a try, your tastebuds will thank you. They are busy in the evenings and with good reason, this is an east end favourite that we just can't let the east end keep to themselves any longer.
